Bill > S1114

This bill amends Idaho's existing fireworks regulations to explicitly include and define "aerial common fireworks," which are fireworks launched into the air above 20 feet, either by their own propulsion or from a mortar. The bill updates several sections of Idaho Code to incorporate this new category of fireworks, affecting definitions, licensing, retail sales, permits, authorized sales dates, temporary fireworks stands, and short-term storage requirements. Key changes include expanding the definition of fireworks, modifying wholesale and import license provisions to account for aerial common fireworks, allowing local authorities to issue permits for aerial fireworks, extending retail sales periods to include aerial common fireworks, and updating storage and stand regulations to accommodate these new types of fireworks. The bill aims to provide clearer guidelines for the sale, storage, and use of aerial common fireworks while maintaining safety standards, and it includes an emergency clause to make the changes effective immediately upon passage and approval.
